Delighted to find this !! Footage of Geo Brown on Suoer Nero is EXTREMELY rare and a delight to see. I did laugh at 600 BHP but back then it was interstellar !!

Thank you so much for this - good job on the commentary and anecdotes too. I never realised that Silverstone was used for drag racing so early on. I've been going to the Pod since 67 when my dad took me as a 10 year old and have been hooked ever since and your old videos take me straight back there. Thanks again.

What a joy to see! That Mooneyes rail is still one of the most gorgeous creations ever put together in a dragster. Looks like everybody had a great time!

Those early rail/slingshots were COOL. And that Vincent is AWESOME! That's the real deal. Thanks for posting.

Dante Duce passed away on February 15, 2008 in Las Vegas, NV. His brother Micheal van Dusen along with wife Karen, nephews Walter & Henry van Dusen and Mel W. sent him to the next race track...

Wow, I had no idea. R.I.P. I'll probably look at clouds a bit differently.
